Because I am all about dressing our new little one like a preppy Grandpa.

I imagine our baby wearing this sweater and studiously reading a baby book by the fire... because that's what a baby would do if he owned a sweater like this... and he would have very smart looking baby glasses and perhaps even carry something... like a baby handkerchief.. or something.. as well. Yes. Definitely.

I don't know what I like more..

Is it the cables.. the shawl collar.. the color??

Frankly, the entire combination is just crazy adorable.

Especially with these shoes..

Who said it wasn't fun dressing a boy?!

I want to knit one in every size the pattern comes in, so he will always have one to wear.

I'm a bit obsessed.. can you tell?

In case this post makes you think I've gone off the deep end.. just keep in mind...
I'm having a baby in 3 days.
Emotions and hormones and irrational thoughts are running high.

I need a Granny Cardigan pattern! I love this. I have had my eye on this pattern for quite some time . . . I do have a new nephew I could knit this for . . . But first, I MUST get my little girl set for her arrival into the world!

So, now, 2 days - I am catching up on my blog reading after being out of town on business. An absolutely lovely (& oh so cute) baby sweater. You new small one will love it - well all of us do, so that is just reasonable, right?.

I've knitted a few little baby sweaters of late, and though the pattern is my own design and so I'm bound to be proud of it, I have to say that were one of those little knits to be reading this post it would no doubt be highly unsettled by such unattainable perfection ;D

Love, love, love. I'm a mom of three boys so we find "cute" clothes when we can. Unfortunately at ages 10, 8 and 5 they won't wear handknits anymore (other than hats and fingerless gloves) because "none of their friends wear these types of clothes". Make them while you can. Counting, counting...Good luck to you!

A November 7 baby--how fantastic. My daughter was born November 7, and it's a perfect time of year to hole up with a new baby! Enjoy every minute of your beautiful, sweet family. And the sweater is totally divine!! Good luck with the delivery--you all are in my prayers!

I love the set, I think that is the cutest baby boy sweater I have ever seen! He is going to be so adorable. I am not even near enough to kiss those precious baby toes, but seeing all things make me feel like a proud "Auntea".

Beautiful and I love the buttons. From an old mom of boys, I think it is so cool that there are better boy clothes out there now. 27 years ago when I couldn't find anything cool for them, I whined all the time and what I should have been doing is designing something boyish.
